For Microsoft it is very important Meego dies as a open source smart phone platform. Elop is going to be CEO of Microsoft after Ballmer, so think again and you will get it.
Microsoft is really scared of this open source movement, because it reveals their (NSA) backdoors, bugs and poor coding to rest of the world.
Hopefully some of the old Nokia software engineers end up in Microsoft and leak the WP-source code to the net as soon as they can. The world needs it and it is good thing to do (tm).
